Northern California Wildfires Burn At Least 30 Homes

A series of wildfires continued their tear through California on Friday, encroaching upon an area still reeling from a mass shooting that struck the community of Thousand Oaks just one day earlier. A set of brushfires lashed Ventura County, prompting mandatory evacuations across Ventura and Los Angeles counties. The two blazes ranged from 2,000 to 10,000 acres, according to Cal Fire. Authorities shut down part of the 101 Freeway as plumes of smoke cascaded into the air on Thursday.
